Dee.r Graham;

I am forwarding herewith the papers 1n the case of the cipher machine for your attention.

I looked over the spec1f1cntions very casually and they seem to be all right. I hope that you will have more time to give to them that I, but !Jr. Rowe seems to h&ve done a very careful job and I hardly think there will be sn:it errors,e~cept possibly t:,rpocraphical ones.

Sincerely yours,
